Job Summary 

The Client Services BI & Analytics team strives to create an open, trusting data culture where the cost of curiosity – the number of steps, amount of time, and complexity of effort needed to use operational data to derive insights – is as low as possible.  We govern Client Services’ operational data and metrics, create easily usable dashboards and data sources, and analyze data to share insights. 

We are a part of the Client Services Global Business Operations function and work with all levels of stakeholders, from executive leaders sharing insights with the C-Suite to customer-facing colleagues who rely on our assets to incorporate data into their daily responsibilities. 

This specialist role makes data available from new sources, builds robust data models, creates and optimizes data enrichment pipelines, and provides engineering support to specific projects.  You will partner with our Data Visualizers and Solution Designers to ensure that data needed by the business is available and accurate and to develop certified data sets.  This technical lead and architect role is a force multiplier to our Visualizers, Analysts, and other data users across Client Services.

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines and systems.

  • Monitor and troubleshoot data pipeline issues to ensure seamless data flow.

  • Communicate complex concepts in a clear and effective manner 

  • Stay up to date with the latest data engineering trends and technologies to ensure the company’s data infrastructure is always state-of-the-art, with an understanding of best practices in cloud-based data engineering 

This is a hybrid position. Hybrid employees can alternate time between both remote and office. Employees in hybrid roles are expected to work from the office 2-3 set days a week (determined by leadership/site), with a general guidepost of being in the office 50% or more of the time based on business needs.
